Assam: Brahmaputra in spate; houses submerged in Morigaon, 120 villages affected

After flooding from an overflowing Brahmaputra river submerged several villages amid nonstop rain in several parts of the state, water gushed into homes in Assam’s Morigaon district. More than 15,000 people, according to the authorities, were impacted by the flooding in the Morigaon district. A student named Tasmina Khatoon told that she was using a boat to get to her school due to local flooding.

“Water crept into our home. I am facing a lot of problems going to school. Many children in the area are grappling with similar problems and our studies are being affected. Attending school has now become a dangerous proposition,” she added.
A viral video clip from the Mayong area of Morigaon district showed locals looking on as their houses fall to the hungry tides.

In a report released on Tuesday, the Central Water Commission (CWC) noted that the Brahmaputra River is currently flowing at a height of 49.87 meters above the danger level. The Brahmaputra River and its tributaries’ water levels have been rising as a result of persistent rainfall in some areas of Assam and Arunachal Pradesh, and they have even exceeded the danger threshold in some of those regions.
